As a full-time wheelchair user facing numerous challenges, my bedroom has slowly become my world over the past three years
My name is Laura and I am a full-time wheelchair user from Dublin and about to turn 40. Before I tell my story I want to say I am fully accepting of my disability. It’s all I have known. But are there parts that bug me every single day? Hell yes. I feel I need to use my abilities as a writer and blogger to highlight the merry-go-round that disabled adults face every day to get services and live as meaningful a life as possible.
I am a shell of the person I used to be. Life was always hard but, my god, pre-pandemic was a walk in the park compared to now. I had to leave the job I was in due to Covid vulnerability, and when I returned there was no role for me, as my duties had been given to others during my absence. This meant I was at home. I lost the PA I had every Saturday for social use. I loved the cinema, concerts, shows and eating out.
From 2018 to 2020 I had been seeing an amazing psychologist in a well-known disability service , I have always dealt with extreme anxiety and seeing this psychologist — he was a lifeline for me. In December 2020, this service was discontinued for adults, with no plans to replace their adult services psychologist.
